Dear Daddy - February 26, 2005

Daddy,

You want me to resolve this right now with you, not just with another person. While I dealt fairly with that person, you want me to give it up to you, too! The Message says, "Don't stay angry. Don't go to bed angry. Don't give the devil that kind of a foothold..."

It is true, Daddy. I need you to take over this. Please, give my attacker peace. Let him know I have a heart-felt forgiveness for him. I promise I will tell him! Give me your grace to be gentle with him and sensitive. I want my forgiveness to be thorough. Forgive me for not giving it more quickly. Please, protect my attacker - no, my brother - so he can have a good sleep, a cleared mind, and grace for tomorrow.
